Ink Blot Plates from Luna & Curious

300

Inspired by the Rorschach psychological tests, popular in the 1960's, these Ink Blot Plates from Luna & Curious will reveal your dinner guests' innermost secrets.

In the original tests, a subject was shown various indistinct ink blots and asked to describe what they saw. Their interpretations of the images were used to draw conclusions about their personality and emotional state. Taking her inspiration from the test, designer Kaoru Parry has created  four different designs: "Fox", "Rabbit", "Horse" and "Butterfly". They are made of bone china and hand painted in genuine 22 carat gold.

 The plates cost £20 each and you can buy them from Luna & Curious here.

Jonathan Adler Neptune range

Neptune plate
There's a distinctive fishy and fifties flavour to the Jonathan Adler Neptune range

The range includes trays, plates and tumblers, all decorated with stylised fishes that have depicted in various stages of blue. Like all of Jonathan Adler's design, there's a definite retro feel to the design – in this case, it looks towards the 1950s. Just compare and contrast Marianne Nilsson's Herring Design (or even the fish in our recently featured Picknick design). This range offers an easy way to pick up a serving of style. 

Prices start at £5 for the glasses, with this salad plate costing £6.
